Judge I agree with you on the devaluing of values in today's society.  In fact values appear to not be taught at all from what I see on a day to day basis. 

I don't know why society is devolving the way it is today, but it is devolving.  Curse those who say live and do what you want and what makes you feel good because at it's extreme we enter anarchy.  Maybe there is no room anymore for old fashioned thinkers like us.  I've been feeling kind of sad lately and that there is no point in trying to fight it. 

So I try to raise my kids the way I was raised and hope for the best.  At least no spawn of mine will contribute to society's decay.  That's my goal.

I'm told there was some Welsh in my blood from way back. Not much, but there ya have it.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

It's all we can do. I bring them up as I was brought up and hope my values stick and the values other kids are taught (or not) do not rub off on my kids.

Thankfully - my kids seem to be heading on the right path.

Just don't raise your kids to be Welsh.
I know a Welsh girl.  She has a soft mountainous exterior
and a warm wet interior.

Does she keep a welcome in the hillside, a welcome in the vale?

I'm waiting for Huw to invoke the power of the druids.

Wales, especially North Wales, the Snowdonia National Park and the Cambrian coast, is a beutiful place - except for Angelsey - which is as flat as a fart.

Flat as a fart is pretty damned flat. By the by, I am just about to win my Britannia campaign in M2TW...as Wales.

I did that once and my King got assassinated in London.
They apparently don't like Welshmen there either.

I am four regions away from declaring my Pax Welshanica. But the Irish are well...being the Irish. In a brawl who would you rather fight,  a Scotsman or an Irishman?
